Please watch and renew Scavengers Reign for a season 2 not only because it's a beautiful miracle of animation and storytelling, but also because I need to see more weird homoerotic scenes between a butch lesbian and a robot ok?
I have OCD and with that comes quasi-hallucinations, and I grew up watching a ton of horror films so some of the worst of mine are the standard white skin/black hair demon girl type shit.
However, because a lot of them are based on horror film I have found comfort in doing things that “go against” horror films and being like “see? This could never happen.”
(It’s irrational. I know that. But shut up. This is how I cope.)
For example: I started hearing garbled whispering from beneath my table, so I started playing the muppets sound track. Because they would never play Movin’ Right Along when the protagonist is about to get attacked. That won’t happen. Disney, who owns the muppets, wouldn’t give them the rights.
I managed to draw something for this year Mermay! ♥
I wanted to draw a series of Mermaids that are ghosts of ladies who died at sea- so I can design their tails according to history fashion ♥
So at least here is one from ancient Egypt and Renaissance France ♥
How do I politely tell people that they need hobbies that don't involve the internet or activism?
Start a garden. Get into birdwatching. Join a diamond painting group. Join a book club. Learn how to embroider. Take a pottery class.
Just. Anything that doesn't involve constant arguments about theory and praxis. Interact with people who are outside of your immediate friend group. Shove your hands into some dirt. Create something just for yourself.
